This place is quaint and has it's own thing going on. I had the chicken wrap which was really good. I know they used to have spoken words here. I am not sure if they still do but it is a pretty nice place to eat. Hidden gem. Somewhat small but very cozy.

We were very happy with this restaurant. The service was great, the owners are friendly, and they have a salon attached to it. It's a small place but still we loved it.

My best friend just moved into the Gentilly Terrace area and we popped in to try out Ju-Ju Bag yesterday. It was really wonderful. We were there at 10am on a Wednesday so we had the place to ourselves. The shrimp and grits were great. The omelets had something unique in them, either a citrus or a vinegar, they tasted wonderful. The owner welcomed us in and wanted to know each of our names. She helped prepare the food and checked in with us several times to see what we thought. This place is a local gem and I will be going back!

Fish Fry Fridays...not the best. I went in for the special and the smell of hair chemicals was overwhelming. Smells like a perm kit factory inside. After noticing the salon next door, I felt a little better. I ordered the fish and I was fried just a little too hard for my liking. The sides offered were mac n' cheese and peas. Both were nothing to write home about. I'll pass...better off going next door to Cafe Gentilly...if you want a good fish plate, that is.

I couldn't have dreamed of a better dining experience. Ms.T (owner) greeted my party with kindness and genuine southern hospitality. The environment is warm and inviting and the mimosas are strong. Our food arrived quickly and it was a feast for the eyes as well as our stomachs. Definitely a staple of our trip to New Orleans.

Excellent!!! I went for breakfast and ordered an egg sandwich on a croissant. It was so yummy! Turkey bacon, melted cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. Coffee was really good too! They even have a vegan item for those in need. I will defiantly go again to try lunch or dinner.

Surreal. Nice ambience. Our hostess took us out back and told us the place will be on Restaurant Impossible in May. She said, "We have a full bar." Wine? Only moscato. Beer? Heineken. We ordered Heineken. She brought it out. Unopened. "We don't have bottle openers." I ordered a po' boy. "They're not good here. Only six shrimp." OK. How about the mixed basket? "That takes hours." OK. What should we order? "Salads." Bottom line: food was edible, price was right, and the owner, a former Southern U prof, she said, entertained us with stories on the way out. Surreal. That is, New Orleans.

Food was good atmosphere was amazing. Band was fun, owner really enjoyed her work and it showed. We are going to tell everyone about this spot and next time I visit it will be on my list of place I have to go.

Found the Ju-Ju Bag on a whim. Was actually going to the Gentilly Cafe, but it was closed for Good Friday and these guys were across the street. Ju-Ju has a good variety of items on the menu and they were having a fish fry special which looked good, but I didn't get. Got the shrimp, tomato and okra dish over rice with fried chicken instead. It was good. Could have had a bit more spice, but was tasty. After got the pecan pie with ice cream. Ice cream was good, but the pie was one of those small individual ones. It was ok, but just ok. All in all I like the place and would probably go back if close.

I LOVE the food and people. I walked in by chance and what a find! The people are heartfelt in their friendliness. They really care about your experience with them, not by them because they make you feel welcome and relaxed as if you were meant to be there. The food is delicious with large portions. Well worth the drive from the Lower Garden District. Can't wait to go back!!!

First time eating at the cafe and I enjoyed my experience. The inside is a little small, but my party felt comfortable. There is also a very large court yard in the back. Our server was polite and provided good service. The owner stopped by the table and answered our questions (such as, why the restaurant was named The Ju-Ju Bag). I enjoyed the turkey burger and the rest of my party enjoyed their food. I'm definitely interested in their Brunch Buffet on Sundays and hope to be trying that soon.

The food is good, but the phone number on Yelp is wrong and the other number I found I've called five times and no one answers.

For New Orleans, Ju-Ju is unique. I haven't ventured to the salon side yet but the cafe side is pretty cool. It's a big crowded because it's an old shot gun double house converted into two different businesses. I met friends there for a quick bite and had some outstanding wraps. There was also an event going on in the back yard, and it looked very cool, especially with seating on the covered deck. Overall, it's a pretty cool concept and the owners seem to pull it off with a few simple tweaks needed.

The thursday turkey wing special is a miracle! Although some would describe this as home-cooking or comfort food, my grandma is a white woman from Kansas so this in no way resembles her cooking. It's so much better than my grandma's cooking that on my first visit I almost started crying because I felt I'd been cheated my whole life! Sorry grandma.

Can't go wrong with a good panini. Not very spacious though. A good neighborhood eat.

Juju bag is the first of it's kind in gentilly. I am happy to say they are family owned and it's obvious from the New Orleans love you feel as you walk in that this place is cared about a lot by it's owners. Their food is simple but elegant. The owners keep their menu red-meat free, and I as a vegan I am absolutly thrilled that there explicitly vegan items on the menu! This is so rare for New Orleans. Nice people, and live Jazz on Fridays. My 4 star rating is due to them moving so slow, it is for sure a cafe atmosphere but my mom and I were the only people in there for the first 20 minutes or so. Also they were out of the vegan burger and took way too long to come tell me. My hopes were so far up by then. Oh well! They are still new and the owner apologized and said they were out because of a movie that is filming in town. Still defiantly worth checking out.

I went there for breakfast and I enjoyed the spinach mushroom omelet, and the homemade jam was a nice touch. My only complaint is the chemical odors from their hair salon next door. I think I am going to sit next to the window the next time I go there.
(3)Brandye D.
The food is ok, and the service is sub-par. While everyone is nice and friendly, it should not take 20-30 minutes to get food...especially if something is an appetizer. Other issues is the menu is often inconsistent with what is actually available in the cafe. I was a bit disturbed when I was able to see my "order" pulled out of the refrigerator, popped in a container and then in the microwave. This give me the feeling that the food is not fresh. I have been before on a Friday, and the char-grilled oysters are tasty. The last thing I will mention is food preparation, and taste is not consistent between different kitchen staff. For example the tacos should taste the same on Wednesday and Friday, not a different taste.
